I'm not sure where some people got the idea that Somalia was founded as a
Libertarian/Liberal society, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
If the rich take your offer and go to a tax-haven state, then your "full-on
social-services safety-net state" collapse or see a drastic decrease in
services. You will also find it hard to get the load-bearing citizens back.
Actually, it probably won't matter because you'll probably leave as well for
places with more opportunity.
